SPRING FUNDRAISER
Entertainment by
Folk Musician, Bill Wellington
and the
Shenandoah Valley Children's Choir

 

The fundraising event (formerly Gala) is a fun evening where people who enjoy music can come and have a good time for the benefit of the choir. It will start out with a silent auction (last year we had about 230 items) during which heavy hors d'oeuvres are available. When the silent auction is closed, guests take their seats to be served gourmet desserts and coffee. A live auction of 5-10 items follows dessert, and the finale is a 30-minute program by the Preparatory, Treble, and Concert Choirs led by Bill Wellington, professional musician and story teller and choir parent.

Saturday, April 26, 6:00 - 9:30 p.m.
Mountain View Elementary School, 2800 Rawley Pike, Harrisonburg, VA (on US-33W)
For reservations call (540) 432-4667; tickets are $30/person
